Quilted jackets took over Instagram last fall, emblazoning multicolored Americana patchwork on cozy cold-weather silhouettes. Leading the charge locally is Psychic Outlaw, founded by Rebecca Wright, who began making her own clothes while working at Buffalo Exchange. Her Austin-based team of about a dozen sewing artists fashion bespoke chore coats from vintage blankets, accepting mail-in heirlooms as well as weekly “quilt drops” of their own supply. Distinctly Western and psychedelically styled, the brand also gained notoriety for dresses stitched from vintage bandannas. Cut, color, material, size – it’s all up to you.
